Website (YouTube) scaling issue(s)

Question

Website (YouTube) scaling issue(s)

I have a minor scaling issue with YouTube. It's not scaled correctly to the setting that I set it to. This only happens when I open it in a new tab

(Like putting the url in/opening it from bookmarks. When I open a new YouTube tab coming from another YouTube tab, it doesn't occur).

It's set to 150% zoom in and that's how I keep my YouTube tab. For the rest of the websites, I keep it at 125% (my default page zoom).

This doesn't occur in Chrome so the problem here is Safari.

This is the one w/ scaling issue

This is the one after I refresh the page (this should be the one that's displayed)

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.1), 13" Early 2015

I only use 150% zoom on YouTube to maximize the screen real estate when viewing videos. For everything else, like viewing generic website articles, Twitter, Facebook, etc... I don't need as much zoom so I can read more on the screen.

What happens is it always stays in 150% zoom when in YouTube and 125% in everything else. But as I mentioned earlier, the bug is sometimes YouTube might appear in the 125% zoom format while actually in 150% zoom, creating a scaled-looking effect and where the side-ways scroll bar appears. (Refer to earlier picture).

I've never experienced this in Chrome and I was wondering if there was a fix in Safari.

This also happens when I'm playing videos (Though I can't replicate it atm). I'm not sure if this happens on other websites, only occurred while I was on YouTube.

Where are you setting the 150% zoom since Safari/Preferences is set to 125%?

Are you setting Safari/Preferences to 150% zoom before going to YouTube? If not, that may be the problem.

Nope. Actually I don't even think that's the problem. Setting zoom default to 125%/150% doesn't fix it.

EDIT: I've tried 100% zoom, Safari's default. Still doesn't fix it. On my MacBook Pro 13" I have the resolution set to the highest one (Where the settings say "More Space")
